The Brooklyn GOP has something in common with the national GOP --- neither has an elected power couple like these two guys who are from adjoining neighborhoods in Brooklyn

 

Democrat leaders of the U.S. Senate and U.S. House of Representatives are two Brooklynites who live very close by each other in central Brooklyn

Senator Schumer lives in Park Slope near Grand Army Plaza and House Minority Leader Jeffries lives in nearby Prospect Heights/ Crown Heights  

Both are also products of local Brooklyn high schools  ---  Schumer went to Madison and Jeffries went to Midwood.
